From  a  Neiu  Haven  fiaper  of  April  2.
The  young  folks  connected  with  the  South  Church,  paid
the  Rev.  Mr.  Barrett,  assistant  Pastor,  a  surprise  visit  at
his  residence  on  Wednesday  night  last,  notwithstanding  the
severe  storm  which  prevailed  at  that  time.  After  a  cordial
greeting  all  round  by  the  Pastor  and  his  excellent  lady,  the
Rev.  J.  Halsted  Carroll  presented  the  following  reso-
lutions : —
At  a  meeting  of  the  South  Congregational  Church,  March
29th,  1864,  it  was  unanimously
Resolved,  That  in  parting  with  Rev.  Myron  Barrett,  who
for  more  than  a  year  past  has  officiated  in  this  Church  as
associate  Pastor  with  Rev.  Mr.  Carroll,  we  desire  to  express
to  him  our  cordial  affection,  respect,  and  esteem,  and  our
regret  that  we  are  no  longer  to  enjoy  the  benefit  of  his  faith-
ful and  most  acceptable  labors.
Resolved,  That  the  harmony  and  good  understanding
which,  without  the  slightest  interruption,  have  uniformly
existed  between  him  and  this  Church,  and  also  between  him
and  Mr.  Carroll,  (who  has  so  far  recovered  his  health  and
strength,  that  he  expects  to  be  able,  henceforth,  to  perform
the  full  duties  of  his  ministry,)  are  a  subject  of  pleasant
remembrance  to  us,  and  will  add  to  the  interest  with  which
we  shall  ever  follow  him  in  his  future  course  of  usefulness,
wherever  in  the  Providence  of  God,  his  lot  may  be  cast.
Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  signed  by  the  proper
officers  of  this  Church,  and  be  communicated  to  Mr.  Bar-
rett as  our  parting  salutation,  with  our  best  wishes  for  the
prosperity  and  happiness  of  himself  and  family  here  and
hereafter.
